New year, new diet. I was tasked with bringing an appetizer to a dinner party recently, and wanted something that wouldn't completely ruin my diet. Hummus, while a bit caloric, is rich in protein and fiber, and can be eaten with vegetables. I had made hummus before, so I knew that it was easy, and much better than the store-bought variety. To stay on the Middle Eastern vibe, I decided to try my hand at baba ganoush, a tasty eggplant dip. The recipe below is based on this recipe from David Lebovitz. I served both dips with celery, carrots, and whole wheat pita chips. A delicious and healthy snack for your Superbowl party!
